Comfortable
Pros:

We had a wonderful time at The Bailey’s Hotel with our whole family. The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect, and our room was very comfortable, with a beautiful high ceiling.

The building itself is a historic mansion, and you can feel its character in every detail. The lobby is truly impressive, with a stunning chandelier and fresh flowers that create a very special atmosphere.

The breakfast room is bright, spacious, and full of light — a lovely place to spend time in the morning. The breakfast was delicious and very good, with almost everything you could wish for.

I would especially like to mention the breakfast staff. Your attention, warmth, and kindness made our stay even more memorable, and we will remember these wonderful days many times. Yannis, Zafar and Abdoula, thank you so much!

Helt okej hotell för att sova på och ha nära till saker och ting
Pros:

Ligger nära metron, så det är perfekt.
Det fanns även möjlighet att ladda telefonen med vanligt europeiskt uttag.
AC fungerade mycket bra!

Cons:

Det var extremt lyhört ut till korridoren, dörren va långt ifrån tät, så det var som om dörren va öppen.

Amazing!!!
Pros:

The Hotel was amazing, perdect service and the staff was wonderful. We had an issue with leaving something with great value to us behind in the room when we left the hotel and the staff members were super helpful and did everything in their hands for us to get it back, specially one of the concierges called Zeeshan Kalim. He was super helpful and overall amazing. We are extremely thankful to them!! Would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Bra centralt beläget hotel, med alla faciliteter med känslan av ett "riktigt gammalt hotel"
Pros:

Frukosten var bra, men lite ordinär, med inte alltför brett utbud. Trevlig personal och ok miljö

Cons:

Utbudet - inte så mycket olika varianter av bröd t exempel

Perfeito!
Pros:

Gostei de tudo. Hotel lindíssimo, limpo, dava para sentir cheiro de limpeza toda vez que chegávamos nele. Funcionários muito cordiais. Localização maravilhosa, só atravessar a rua para chegar à estação de metrô. Bairro muito agradável, com restaurantes, pubs, mercado, cafés. Cama maravilhosa, quarto muito espaçoso, banheiro grande, chuveiro a gás e com ótima pressão. Espero voltar logo.

Cons:

Great hotel and service.
Pros:

Rajesh was amazing. We were upgraded to a larger room after our first night and, because it was our first visit to London, he waived the early check-in fee. The room was spacious and clean. I would definitely come back.
